Legacy

Born and raised in Woodbury, Betty graduated from Woodbury High School where she earned varsity letters in three sports. She then attended and graduated from Pierce Business College. Betty worked as a Legal Secretary for more than 35 years for Tomlin, Clark & Hopkins until her retirement in 1992.
